netcomics

netcomics is a Perl script that can retrieve comic strips from the Web
that are updated each day. It utilizes a modular set of Perl scripts
that provide information on where to find each specific strip. It is
most often run as a cron job, but also has a GUI that you can use to
browse comics.
